Semi-Bantu
The Semi-Bantu or Semibantu are specific inhabitants of the
Bantu language family but are excluded from them.[1] The people themselves are considered ethnically and linguistically divergent from other Bantu peoples of central and southern Africa.[2][3]
When these ethnic groups migrated into northern Cameroon, their languages were influenced by the languages of both Bantu-speaking ethnic groups in the forests to the south and of the Benue-Congo-speaking peoples of the savannas to the north.
